Jackson: God Has “Raised Up Herman Cain For This Day”

Here in an interesting fact: when Herman Cain held his official presidential campaign launch event over the weekend, the invocation was delivered by none other than Harry Jackson, who declared that God has “raised up Herman Cain for this day” to restore “righteousness, justice, and truth” to America:

Heavenly Father, we thank you that you have raised up Herman Cain for this day. That you have appointed him for this hour as a spokesperson and representative of your agenda and of the values that America has always held dear.

And so out of the same passage, we pray for him and declare for Herman Cain: Arise! Shine! For thy light has come and the glory of the Lord has rise upon thee, Herman Cain.

And then we pray that his people will be willing in the day of his power, Lord, that you are going to give the people in this place a volunteer spirit. They’re going to rise up. They’re going to volunteer. They’re going to give finances. They’re going to begin to speak out passionately.

And at the end of the day, we are going to see that you are aligning a veritable army around this man, Herman Cain, because righteousness, justice, and truth need to be restored to America.

We pray and believe we receive these things for we have prayed in the name of Jesus. Amen.

And when Jackson is not declaring that God wants Herman Cain to be president, he is mentoring Bradlee Dean and warning that marriage equality is part of “a Satanic plot to destroy our seed.”
